I noticed REST API in the ACP and was wondering if I should do anything with it? It says when I click it: In order to use the REST API: Download this file. Upload it to the /api folder in your site's directory (/home/content/*************). Rename it to '.htaccess' (with no file name).

How do I clear the cache or amount total of the 'category menu'? A article was placed within the wrong area and it now shows that it still there. In the past, I have experienced it with one of my other sites and just deleting the block and re-adding it worked but this time this isn't doing it. News (3) It should be two, which looks bad to visitors who realise that there's not that amount. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm a newbie trying to figure out IPB. When I upload my logo it appears huge on the site but I can't find a place to reduce it's size. Do I need to remake the logo in a different size and then upload that? Do most people use a skin/theme? Or is the standard sufficient for most? Thanks!

Youtube vids embed pretty reliably but I haven't been able to sort out how to embed a "local" mp4 that plays fine within the gallery app into an article or post. Is it meant to work similarly to youtube or is there a different method? Inserting via existing attachments/gallery doesn't work, nor does pasting the full path. 4.1.6.1

I would like to reduce the font size on the Display Name in the forum views - many of my users are having their name wrapped, and it is awkward. Additionally where can I set the group icon sizing - right now it is a bit big as well when viewed on a laptop. If somebody could point me to the appropriate part of the CSS files, or configuration to do so, it would be appreciated.

I would like to manually check if the user is logged in. I would not like to make use of init.php or any other IPS made solutions. This is simply because of performance reasons. After debugging I noticed that processing init.php to check if the user is logged on is roughly 0.02s (2ms), focus on my development project is set on performance. I dove into IPS/system/Session/Front.php to see how IPS checks if the user is logged on and I tried to re-create something like that. Right now I am checking if the user is logged on like this. I would like to know if this is safe enough and/or if I should know about important things that init.php does that my bit of code does not…
